Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).
by BucketShopBill inplease don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.
i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.
i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

Quality (or should I say Meaty) "presentations" practically disappeared in the late 90's. I remember when dubs were expected to read and explain at least 2 Bible verses, then allow the householder to express his/her thoughts on the matter before even pulling out any mags or literature. Afterwards, you had to provide a summary of the latest mags and offer these along with other tracts or books. Now it's a game of "hit-and-run" using anorexic mags and tracts. This cult is limping it's way to a slow and painful death...

You can't play lotto, but you can accept a lottery ticket.
by JH in.
can someone explain to me why a witness can't go and buy a lottery ticket for himself, but can keep a ticket they find on the ground or keep a ticket they receive as a gift from a worldly person.. that's the explaination the witnesses gave me when i joined many years ago.. if it's a sin to play lotto, why can they accept a ticket as a gift or keep one they could find?.

By Watchtower standards, that's the same as prohibiting the purchase of a cross but allowing dubs to accept these as gifts.

How Did A Proven "Fake," "Phony" Arrangement ["governing body"] ...Become The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" Arrangement???
by Littleleslie inquestion:.
how did a proven "fake," "phony" arrangement [like "governing body" arrangement]...become the "faithful & discreet slave" arrangement???.
so then if it can be proven, the "governing body" term and arrangement is a farce, a fake, a made-up nonscriptural arrangement itself, (made up and concocted by nathan knorr & frederick franz in 1944) then how can this fake arrangement now suddenly become the "faithful & discreet slave" that jesus spoke of?

Your question is backwards. The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" went from being approximately 11,000 JWs around the globe to 7 mentally deranged men in Brooklyn Heights, New York.

Agreed. There is no god. If there is, he is one sick, morbid and evil bastard.

I have a grievance about not being able to grieve. I'd like my grievance to be read by the poster of this thread but do not wish to hear any grievances from the poster regarding my grievance about not being allowed to grieve.

The Rothschilds already tried a similar internet rebranding campaign with the Mormons in recent years and now they're basically starting the same thing with their other religious enterprise (Jehovah's Witnesses)... I expect the Rothschilds will be giving serious consideration to a JW.org 15-second Super Bowl spot in the next few years... We'll soon see.

Anthony Morris III... Did he really serve in Vietnam? Something doesn't quite add up...
by Calebs Airplane inborn in 1950, he apparently became a regular pioneer in 1971.. but wait.... let's just say that he enlisted (or was drafted) in 1968 at age 18.... depending on the branch of service, he would have to complete anywhere from 2 to 4 years of service.
yes, duty in hot combat zones was usually limited to 6-months at a time but you still had to serve a total of 2 to 4 years depending on the branch of service.
assuming he only served 2 years, he would have been 20 years old and discharged by 1970.... how did he get witnessed to, complete a book study, become an unbaptized publisher, get baptized and then become a regular pioneer in less than year???.
